Both pages Tenevor mentions are very good, but the main page for magnus is www.magnusmotorsports.com.

well i was having trouble with it firing. my crankangle sensor was shorting out. after some close inspection we found that the trigger plate was hitting the sensor when the clutch was pressed and when i would drive it in wet conditons it was shorting out

Ouch. Not good. Mine never shorted out, it just self destructed.
